Apexi Air Filter question...

Jon_P · January 26, 2013, 04:37:18 PM

Time to pick your brains!

I\'ve just installed Apexi Filters to the car, and it\'s running perfectly but there is an odd whirring noise coming at low revs - around 1800-2200rpm.

I THINK it\'s something to do with air pump, but not 100%. Just wondered if anyone could shed any light on this as I\'m baffled by it. I don\'t even know what the air pump purpose is.

The Moooooo sound

The air pump pipe should have a restrictor in it to stop this (looks like a wine bottle cork with a hole drilled in it/easy to make or replace - as in the picture).

And does that pulg go in the end off the pipe or in thr pipe and then connect the pipe to the apexi?
Im going to install a blitz so ill have the same problem.

Generally found them 1/3 to half way down the pipe itself and only managed to remove them by cutting the pipe up :2Rolleyes

Has your car been decated? Is so just unplug the airpump

It hasn\'t been decat no... That will all be happening during the course of the year, and more importantly when I find a \'99 Power FC...

So should I go get another pipe made up by somewhere like Hyphose and just replace it? I take it this is the pipe that goes from the air pump directly to the Apexi filter?

Looks like my Apexi kit is missing some mounting brackets

Jon_P · January 27, 2013, 02:02:51 AM

Mine too. And this plug too!

Small one holds the two filters together, next size holds the lower filter down and the long one holds the top filter to the side if my memory works :3Confused.. easy to make

But doesnt the plug in the hose off the airpump restrict the air comming in?

Jon_P · January 28, 2013, 01:35:50 AM

I haven\'t quite understood what I need to do in order to stop this noise. It\'s really :censored::censored::censored::censored:ing me off as it\'s constantly doing it when travelling at 30-35mph in 4th gear. What do I need to do in order to stop this happening? Someone please help and advise.

Buy a broom handle, cut a piece off and drill a hole through the middle for the time being. The airpump is only there to help with passing emissions test.

How big a hole buddy??
